Which albums are global classics ?

[bigbadbossup2012]

worldwide classics (among Hip Hop heads) outside the east coast are things like

E. 1999
AEOM
Eazy-Duz-It
Straight Outta Compton
The Predator
ATLiens
Doggystyle
The Diary

So basically albums that were pretty successful,like I said. Meanwhile ny flops get A1 props.

not JUST successful albums but they are GREAT musically as well.

 

[bigbadbossup2012]

i was thinking that worldwide it might be his best known album maybe calling it classic was going too far. AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted is probably the better choice for classic

Classic,yea but death certificate is cube at his best

I agree. But like i said

This post BY @I.AM.PIFF inspired THIS POLL


"Well, I don't get your point about sales. You talked about inflated props which refers to reception & critical acclaim, rather than commercial performance (which doesn't always mean the Album is a classic). Illmatic went plat and according to Soundscan, OB4CL sold more than a mill. Not to mention both albums received huge critical acclaim and props since day 1, so I don't see how they get inflated props on the coli. You could've mentionned better examples really.

Goodie Mob - Soul Food
Common - Resurrection
Spice 1 - 187 He Wrote
UGK - Ridin' Dirty
Geto Boys - We can't be Stopped

These albums weren't anymore commercially performant than Illmatic/OB4CL but they've been regarded as classics. You could also add 8Ball & MJG - Comin' Out Hard & The Pharcyde - Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde as well."

Guess i was correct

"And i'm pointing out that it's ironic THAT ONLY ON THE EAST can you have mediocre success yet have a official classic that everyone is supposed to accept as a non regional classic.

If i name a gold album from ANYWHERE but the east and say it's a classic,nikkas will object and be convinced that it was just a regional classic UNLESS it's a wanna be east coast nikka like raskass or common.

Ya'll will be so convinced that a gold album from the east,or one that took several years to go platinum,is some kind of big event but if another nikka from another region does the same thing,then it means nothing and was a regional classic at best.

I'm not saying yall pick and choose off sales. I AM SAYING,due to the blatant hater attitude of the media dj's (not MOST of the fans) etc,particularly back in the days, it takes an outsider to be HUGE in the game for you to even remotely feel the impact of what they were doing. But you guys erroneously think that your experience and views are shared with the world.

You could say i'm wrong but really just chill and ask yourself: "why is it that hardly any albums outside the east,are called classics (on here) unless they had major success or came from deathrow/ruthless"?

You're persistent breh

You're persistent breh

Scared of what?

Obviously Illmatic/OB4CL would lead the poll, they're 2 of the most acclaimed albums ever I gave you a list of non-east albums that either didn't go plat or barely and are considered by a lot pf rap fans as classics. Comparing them to Illmatic/OB4CL is unfair and undermine the point made.

 

[bigbadbossup2012]

You tryna put our boy on that Colislam screen huh

Comments like this show fear my friend. Fear of looking as stupid as you are

That was clearly a sarcastic comment breh

And re-read what I said. I been wrote comparing them to Illmatic & OB4CL is unfair and you should've used better examples

You said these albums are regarded as classics,i do a poll and none of the non east coast albums you've named even reached 17% in votes. Meaning (as i stated before) only east coast albums with mediocre success get those types of props due to bias

That's because you put them up against 2 of the GOAT albums

 

[mobbinfms]

you stacked the deck in the east coast's favor with this poll tho.

aside from master p & the geto boys, there aren't any attractive names on the non-east coast side.

meanwhile for the east coast, you posted up some of the cream of the crop albums to come out of the east in the 1990s.

This 100%.
@bigbadbossup2012
Why don't you do the thread again with Enta Da Stage, The Sun Rises in The East and Whut? Thee Album instead of Infamous, Illmatic and OBFCL?
@Wacky D unless you can think of better albums to use for this purpose from the East?

I did. This poll doesn't prove your point though. Re do the thread with the albums I suggested.

No my point is proven. Dude made suggestions of albums with similar success to illmatic,OB4CL,from other regions that would be considered classic. My point was to prove HIM WRONG. Which i did.
This isnt a VS poll it's a poll of albums with similar success from various regions.
In this poll the only albums really getting A1 credit are from the east.
